Thanks to Bob I have a new goal, to become a Real Life Super Hero! My secret power? To convince anyone within earshot to pull my finger. My crime fighting alter-ego? Mr. Sterious. Kind of like mysterious but because I'm a dude, I put Mr. in front of it. My costume? Croakies, cargo shorts, a pastel polo with the collar popped, one of those woven neclaces and bracelets, and a baseball cap worn backwards. Who would think that type of person could be a real danger to a criminal?
My favorites are the ones where the person is obviously taking their day job and turning it into a superhero identity. Hello? "Captain Jackson"? Looks like he is, was, or wants to be a fireman. "Polar Man"? Obviously works for the City Works department managing snow plows in colder months. "Angle Grinder Man"? When he's not fighting crime he's obviously doing either concrete or wood work on construction job sites.
Oh, I also like that there's a crime fighting league called the "Justice Society of Justice." I'm going to send that over to the department of redundancy department for translation.
I'm steriously disappointed that you didn't name yourself Kaptain Kenigma.
